A partner-led specialist executive search firm serving premier modern brands for 15 years in virtually every sector.

Our individual capabilities are levels above traditional recruiters and more rigorous than typical search firms. Review our client list and you’ll find only Apex category winners and disruptors. We like to think we had a hand as a secret weapon in their success.

We offer a bespoke, highly efficient alternative to global SHREK style firms as well as firms like True or Daversa who rely on associates.

We leverage a team of senior expert headhunters, never junior associates, an unrivaled network and research team, and vast AI/ML capabilities to support VC/PE-backed hyper-growth companies.

We provide rapid solutions to challenges in scaling, product-market fit, go-to-market strategies, and roadmap development and execution.

Our highly experienced partners and sophisticated research team work in tandem to conduct rigorous, often highly confidential searches for some of the most prestigious brands in North America and beyond.

Our Clients are Proven Winners

Ryan is an incredibly well-connected headhunter. Disciplined, process driven but flexible to adapt to ever-changing needs and always delivers a diverse slate of diverse candidates. We've worked with him at Bombas on key leadership searches and I've referred him, with great success, to my network of entrepreneurs to help them build out successful teams.

DAVID HEATH

CEO at Bombas

After working with many search firms, we engaged Brogan Search progressing to over a dozen searches for critical new hires including our current VP Engineering, Director of Data Engineering, Director of Site Experience, Senior Data Engineer and Sr SRE which were all completed ahead of schedule. Ryan and his team integrated seamlessly onto our systems and engrained himself into our processes and values at Casper. Ryan also developed strong relationships and trust with our hiring managers and internal recruiters.

APRIL HAVRANEK

Director of Talent Acquisition at Casper

Brogan Search has been our partner for Product and Engineering from around the time we raised our Series C. They have been collaborative, proactive and measurably impactful on our business. We continue to work with them on leadership and team building as we scale our business.

JENNETTE LEMLEY

VP People at URBINT

Recommended by our VC investors, Brogan Search conducted our VP of Product & Engineering search following our Series A. We were looking for a multi-lingual CTO to scale our SaaS offering and manage cross functional multi-national teams. They were successful by all metrics.

PATRICK O'LEARY

CEO at Boostr

Real Headhunters

Many focus on scale. We focus on tradecraft. Senior specialist experts run every search--not associates.

Deep Expertise

The best talent won't talk to everyone. We command attention with over 15 years in the industry as operators, investors, and trusted search partners.

Innovators

Leveraging cutting-edge AI/ML tools and unrivaled market mapping strategies, we bring an arsenal of capabilities to the table.

Proven Results

Our clients are exit-minded. We drive measurable impact and long-term success. IPO, new funding, acquisition, transformation. These are the results we're after.

Confidential Solutions

We've successfully conducted confidential searches for preIPO and public companies where the entire process must fly under the radar/scrutiny of the market and competitors. There are myriad situations which call for confidentiality including replacements of existing employees and succession planning.

Creativity

Our research approach combines innovative thinking around mapping all current and former employees at existing competitors as well as those we deem relevant based on their playbook's for relevant KPIs at indirect competitors
